"The Calla Lilies Are In Bloom" - Our state guild hosted a challenge, where we were given the only pieces of fabrics that we could use in our quilt. This quilt has some applique, some painting, and some thread painting. The tree trunk on the left and the flower stamen was made of tyvek that I painted and treated to give it texture.

"Celebrate Life" - The dancer celebrates by expressing the joy of life in her movement. The dark background is a reminder that even in the darkest night we can celebrate life, and the pink binding is a reminder that even the darkest night comes to an end.

"Fire Fun" - This quilt is a wholecloth quilt done completely in free motion quilting.

"Oh My Heavens" - I took Gloria Loughman's Linear Landscape class online, and created this quilt. The sky and water fabrics were hand painted by me, and the rest were from my stash. I finished it to be hung as if it were a painting.

Seeing Star's - Used Accquilt dies to cut shapes. Put them up on a design wall and sewed them together in rows

Arrows of Love - I made this for my daughter-in-law for Christmas, it is paper pieced, and was fun to do. I like the dark background, it makes the colors pop.

Cathedral Rails - I made this for my son for Christmas (shhh... Don't tell). I used the traditional rail fence pattern, but varied the width of the rails. I likd the way the dark background makes the other colors glow like a stained glass window. This was made out of scraps from my daughter-in-laws quilt, The .feather Quilt. Not bad for a scrappy quilt!

Pineapple Fun - The pineapple blocks were made with Gyleen Fitzgerald's tool and placed in a staggered pattern.

"OH DEER!" - I made this quilt for a Red & White Quilt Guild Challenge. The deer are hand appliqued and the piece is embellished with beads.

NY Beauty Goes toHawaii - I bought this kit at the NJ Quilt Show(2008)thinking I can do this-HA! I had never paper pieced and panicked. After 4 years I got up the courage and made it, then it was put away until 2013 and I was ready to quilt Celtic Crystals. Done!! and another learning experience!

Celtic Crystals - This was a learning experience and Mother Superior had good words of wisdom to get me through this. Thank you!!! Mother Superior!!!

Buffaloes in Disguise - My brother loves the CU buffaloes in Boulder, but I didn't want to make a giant buffalo image quilt. I wanted something that his wife would like to hang in her living room... So I chose the gold and black that he loves and a design that she would like. They seemed very pleased with the result.

Embellished Tote bag - I made the front of this tote bag in the style of Carol Ann Waugh's work. I curved pieced my hand dyed fabric then embellished it with cords, yarns, bobbin work with Razzle dazzle thread, the various fancy stitches on my machine, hand embroidery and beading and free motion machine quilting. It was fun to just let loose!

iQuilt - It is a portrait quilt made using the reverse applique technique! It was fun making this as a gift for my little brother!

Apsara Aali... - My Apsara quilt!!! The quest for the photo started about 2-3 months back... I was always intrigued by the many different ways in which a saree is draped in India. The length of the saree also varies regionally. In Maharashtra - the state in India that I live in - the 9 yard saree - called nav vari (nav = nine, var = yard) is the traditional gear for women. It has its own variants too! It looks especially beautiful from behind! I wanted to capture the grace of that saree, without making it look like I was trying to make a quilt of a woman's bottom!
